Also , HIGHLY recommend the boat ride down the Pearl river after dark.
Its amazing, the city looks nicer all lit up at night i think than during the day. The boat ride is really romantic too ;)

Guangzhou has started a city- wide overhaul of marriage agencies.

This will clean up marriage services in the city and prevent those from being swindled by such agencies, said an official with the municipal administration for industry and commerce in this south China city.

The administration has also cooperated with the civil affairs bureau in publishing a circular that states marriage agencies must be registered. The circular also stipulates that marriage agencies should not mislead or cheat their clients, or provide matchmaking service that involve foreign nationals, people of Chinese origin in foreign countries, and compatriots from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao on the one side and people in China's interior on the other.

In Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, there are more than 100 marriage agencies. Only some forty of these have permits.

An official with Guangzhou Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau said that in the campaign, authorities will issue a new list of marriage agencies, close down agencies that are not registered and implement detailed rules and regulations for such agencies.

Looks like there cleaning up there own back yard,but not much for us .

As stated earlier in the thread, GZ ariport is modern and easy to navigate. I would suggest to allow your self a night or two in the city before travel on. Book a hotel at Shamian Island, take a look at the Qing Ping Market it's across the street. Also recommend the night cruise on the Pearl River. The cruise boat leaves 5 minuts walk from Shamian Island. I left a few pics from the river cruise in the photo thread. (If you have not yet chatted directly to your girl, it is probably a good idea to do so. At least a few minutes to make sure she know who you are and that you are going there :) ).

Im sure you will have a great time and a wonderful experience. I had my most amazing trip when i went :)
